N. gardneri mushrooms are seen growing on the base of a young babassu palm in Gilbues, Brazil, in this undated handout picture. Researchers said on Thursday experiments conducted in Brazil involving the big, yellow mushroom called the "flor de coco," meaning coconut flower, showed its nighttime bioluminescence attracted insects and other creatures that later spread its spores around the forest.
